Birthday Roses

Yesterday was my birthday and my Stampin' Up! Anniversary.
Of course we all love a day to celebrate but the birthday
number this year was not making me a happy girl.
I was happy about my 12 years as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
My day got better and better though.
The ladies I work with brought special
treats that I could eat, pretty flowers for my desk
and a wonderful card (thanks Michelle).
I received lots of birthday wishes on Facebook
and a wonderful birthday video from my
youngest grandchildren.
Then I received beautiful flowers from my
daughter and her family.
I had my Stamp & Go Club last night and they
brought special treats too.
Then when I got home, look what was waiting for me.

My wonderful hubby had roses waiting for me
AND he made me a card.  No stamping for him — I guess I
haven't trained him well enough yet but I was thrilled
that he actually made me a birthday card.

Anyway, Stamp & Go Club was great.
We had a couple of new visitors.
Jackie brought her daughter Kristen to class.
Kristen had a great time and loved making
her very first hand stamped card.
Here is Mother & Daughter with their cards.

Don't you love how they color coordinated their clothes with the card.
So much fun.

Come back tomorrow and I'll show you this card up close.

All God’s Grace

Yesterday I showed you the beautiful baptism card that
my daughter made.  Here's the other card that she
designed — this is the card that she used.
She used All God's Grace stamp set for this card too
along with Gorgeous Grunge
That is a MUST have stamp set.
Blotchy BaptismToday's card uses the Thick Whisper White cardstock
for the card base.
Then she added a layer of Pink Pirouette and
then a layer of Whisper White for the stamping.
She used Pink Pirouette ink to stamp two
blotches from Gorgeous Grunge.  She added
three little hearts in Pink Pirouette.
Then she stamped the little sprinkles in
Smoky Slate ink.
The cross is stamped with Memento ink and a
tiny heart added to the middle of the cross with
Pink Pirouette ink — look she even added a little
pearl in the middle of the heart — so adorable.

This time she stamped For You Baptism on
banners and added to the card front.
She stamped the dove and punched it out with
the 1" circle punch.  This is attached to a
1 1/8" Pink Pirouette Scalloped Circle.
Don't forget the Silver Metallic Thread.
Those little loops of silver finish the card off
just right.

Congrats on your baptism Miss Leah.

For Your Baptism Starburst

Today I have a featured artist — Katie Campbell.
Katie is my daughter and she made this beautiful card.
My great niece was baptized on Saturday.
Katie was Leah’s Godmother.
She made two wonderful cards and asked which
I liked better.  This was my first choice.
I asked if I could have the card she didn’t use as
I hadn’t made a card for Miss Leah yet.
WOOHOO — I got to use my favorite!!!
What a sweet daughter.
Burst of BaptismSo, on to the card.
Katie used the All God’s Grace stamp set
along with Kinda Ecletic stamp set for the starburst.
She started with a Basic Gray base,
added a layer of Blushing Bride and then
stamped on a piece of Whisper White.
She stamped the starburst with VersaMark ink
and embossed with White embossing powder.
Then she sponged Blushing Bride ink around the starburst.

She stamped For Your Baptism with Blushing Bride ink.
She stamped the cross and dove with Memento ink
and cut out with Paper Snips.
She attached a Silver Metallic Doily
and attached the cross over the doily with
dimensionals.  She punched a Blushing Bride
heart using the Itty Bitty Punch Pack and attached
it with a dimensional.   She also used a dimensional
to attach the dove (I taught her well — more
dimensionals is a good thing).
I love the last little detail — three little pearls
at the bottom corner — so sweet.

I just love this card and am so proud of the
great job Katie did on this card.
